Many of my longer mountain hikes in the 1970 through 1985 time frame occurred
in the eastern Olympic Mountains, often in the Mt. Steel 15 minute quadrangle.
I set an informal goal of hiking all of the major river drainages there.
I think there are some left, but most have no trails. This group
of photos will show a few of our hikes from this period.

This shot shows Mt. Stone as seen from the summit of Mt. Skokomish.
Mt. Stone was to become one of our favorite climbs. It was also central
to a wonderful 1976 cross country trip that took us from Upper Lena Lake to
First Divide.

Although rare, I have managed to get Shon into the Olympics. Here,
in 1986, we are hiking in the Hurricane Ridge area, looking out toward the
Bailey Range.
